Boat Projects

A friend was in town doing some long overdue maintenance on his 25ft sailing boat so I got roped in to help, pun intended. His old instruments in the cockpit were well retired and until he gets around to getting new ones I thought 3D printing some vents would be a good idea. I did a couple prototypes before the final one which I embedded bug netting within the print. There a lock nut from the inside to keep it secure as well as sloping vents to encourage water egress as well as a cap that can be put on in the inside when away or at night.

Another needed piece was a replacement door for the companionway as well as a new traveller both made from solid teak.
